Chapter 373 - Yue Bo’s Tribulation Lightning

Yue Bo stared at the huge dark clouds in the sky. He could hear the rumbling sounds of thunder as flashes of lightning occasionally struck.

"Is this my tribulation lightning? I never thought I would have the chance to break through the Void G.o.d Realm. It looks like I have to obediently sweep that guy"s wine store when the time comes..." Yue Bo muttered to himself as the fire in his crimson eyes burned intensely.

Meanwhile, Jiu Shen glanced at the three ladies and told them. "Let"s stay out of here. If we remain in this place, his tribulation lightning will only become stronger."

The three women nodded their heads obediently and followed behind Jiu Shen.

Yue Bo muttered the mantra that Jiu Shen told him and activated his Fire Lord Crimson Eyes. His crimson pupils released a terrifying wave of power that scorched the old man"s surroundings.

Yue Bo stared apologetically at the collapsed tombstones. "I"m so sorry buddies..."

He still found it difficult to control his ability, but he knew that he would get used to it soon.

Zapp!

A huge bolt of lightning struck like a spear of glowing white light, tearing s.p.a.ce asunder!

Bang!

Yue Bo was directly hit, but a burst of fiery crimson flames covered his entire body, lessening the damage of the lightning.

Hahaha!

Yue Bo laughed like a crazy old man. His bent back suddenly stood straight as he slowly raised his head to the sky. "COME!! Hahaha!"

Bolts after bolts of lightning continuously struck Yue Bo, but his unrestrained laughter still lingered in the now-destroyed cemetery.

"Your Majesty, I"ve returned..." Cornelia respectfully bowed at the man seated on the throne. Her amorous expression was now replaced by a rare look of seriousness.

"How"s the situation against the Rebel Army?" Emperor Balmond asked as he stared at the kneeling Cornelia. He was most pleased about this child of his. She was the number one expert among the younger generation and she was already a Demon Lord (Nascent G.o.d Realm) at such a young age. Her talent was rare even among their ancestors.

Cornelia gathered her thoughts before she answered. "Our Demon Army has captured three bases of the Rebel Army and we also killed two of their Nascent G.o.d Realm experts. The situation at the frontline has been stabilized following our most recent victory."

Balmond nodded his head, pleased, at the report. "Good! I know that you won"t fail me. It was a wise decision to put you in charge of leading our Demon Army. Although you are still lacking in terms of personal strength, your wisdom and battle tactics make up for it!"

"I don"t deserve such praise, Your Majesty! The victory isn"t just my achievement alone. Our officers and our soldiers helped me greatly in this battle! They deserve to be praised more than me." Cornelia was being truthful. Their victory was greatly credited to the overwhelming strength of their Demon Army. They decimated the resistance of the Rebel Army, killing thousands of their members in the process. The casualties on their side were negligible compared to the number of enemies they killed!

Balmond knew this too, so he nodded his head in agreement. "Even so, your contribution to this war was ma.s.sive. What reward do you want me to give you?" He asked as he stared at his daughter. Although his son was disappointing, Cornelia"s recent achievements made him happy with his choice of choosing her as the crown princess.

Cornelia slowly raised her head and answered with a sweet smile. "Your Majesty, I hope you can give me a short vacation."

Balmond was a bit surprised when he heard this. "Just this? Do you not desire anything else? Land? Soldiers? Treasures? Do you not want any of this?"

Cornelia shook her head. "Emperor Father, your pitiful daughter is now weary from the constant war at the frontline. I wish to have a short vacation." She answered as she acted pitifully.

Balmond chuckled to himself when he saw his daughter acting like this. He knew her well, but since she did have huge merit this time, he nodded his head. "Alright. I"ll approve of your one-year break, but you must not get out of the empire without any protection."

"Don"t worry, Emperor Father. I don"t plan to go out of the empire at the moment. I"ve heard a lot about a peculiar wine store in Morlon City. According to my subordinates, the wines sold in that store have stunning effects. I want to go and see this place myself." Cornelia said, a hint of expectation can be felt in her voice.

Balmond frowned upon hearing this. Although there was no conflict between him and the mysterious owner of this store, Emperor Balmond was unaware of the other party"s thoughts. However, when he saw the eager look of his beloved daughter, he sighed and reluctantly agreed. "Fine. Just don"t provoke anyone from that store. Not until we clear the remaining members of the Rebel Army. It"s not good to make more enemies at times like this."

Cornelia nodded her head obediently. "Yes, Emperor Father."

She was also curious why her father was so cautious about the mysterious owner of the wine store. However, she dared not ask about this.

"I"ll investigate this owner myself and see what makes him so special that even father is cautious towards him." Cornelia thought to herself.

"Alright. You may leave now." Emperor Balmond waved his hand, motioning Cornelia to leave the throne room.

Cornelia slowly stood up and bowed at Emperor Balmond before she left the throne room.

Outside, Cornelia"s amorous face slowly returned. She gave off the aura of seduction, making the imperial guards standing outside the throne room feel their lower bodies getting hotter.

As if she had sensed their reaction, Cornelia winked at them before she left.

The two imperial guards gritted their teeth and bit their tongues. It was only until a few seconds later did they regained their senses.

"s.h.i.+t! I almost got my soul lost in Her Highness" seduction arts!"

"Shh! Quiet! If His Majesty hears you, I won"t even bother helping you!"
